Syndie development

Beside of I2P we want to encourage users
to care more about anonymity and security. As I2P is a low
latency network with its natural limits, the software SYNDIE
can overcome some of these limits and provide better anonymity
for people who really need it.

For our bad sake the syndie project was out of development for
quite a long time yet (5 years) and has been updated just with
small fixes to keep it running. To get a fresh and new built
with needed bugfixes we set out this bounty. Also syndie needs
some enhancements and a better GUI for users to work with it.
Current bounty sum is 3 Bitcoin.

The latest Syndie coding rally did improve the situation of the
Syndie package dramatically. A new Syndie package with bugfixes
was created and made available on different webpages.
As a result of this work, the bounty sum was reduced and
the withdrawn money moved to the IPv6 bounty.

Still some jobs are left to be done:
1. Fix most, if not all GUI bugs (this relates to the first point somewhat)
2. Be the maintainer for Syndie over a period of time (an amount per month or per quarter) and do the usual
tasks like accepting and fixing minor bugs, promote Syndie in the wider world than just I2P, maintaining
good documentation
3. Add some sort of 'File Archive' as a transport (for sneakernets)
4. Add more transports from the introduction image to Syndie: Usenet, Gnutella, E-Mail, iMule, Tahoe-LAFS
5. Get syndie into repos for major distros (at least, Debian, Fedora, Arch, Gentoo, FreeBSD ports, PkgSrc)
6. Make the freenet archive work
